Avatar n tn Hello Candikane, Your doctor's advice is surprising to me, also. I'm guessing that s/he is not a diabetes specialist and that's the type of physician who should be guiding your diabetes care. Specialists might be called endocrinologist or diabetologist. None of us here is a physician, but we're long-time diabetics or care-givers for diabetic children. You didn't mention if you've been diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2, and the treatment options vary for these types.
Avatar n tn good luck High incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus during or shortly after treatment with pegylated interferon alpha for chronic hepatitis C virus infection.

Avatar n tn I also noted the JAMA reminder/caution that food does not cause Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. This study and others looked at the impact of specific foods/timing of introduction in at-risk children. Please know that Type 2 is a completely different disease than Type 1. Type 1 is autoimmune, and researchers are striving to find out what triggers (or doesn't) trigger the disease. Type 2 has completely different origins.
Avatar m tn I see you have the word 'diabetes' crossed. Diabetes is a Greek word meaning large amounts of urine. Both diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus fall into this realm but both are separate mechanisms. This forum deals mostly with type 2 diabetes, people who have high blood sugar levels [mellitus]. Diabetes insipidus is kidney related. For best answers, the forum to post on is Kidney Disease & Disorders.
Avatar f tn Hi! I am a registered nurse and recently was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus type 1 and later on developed alopecia universalis. Is there stil a hope for me to pursue my career as a nurse? Are there other options for me? Thanks and regards.
Avatar n tn You may try low carb eating, which is very helpful for blood sugar management. Type 1 grit is a group with great support and information on low carb eating for diabetes management. Look also into Dr. Richard Bernstein's Diabetes SOlutions book and Diabetes University (Utube), which has great and useful series of lectures on managing blood sugars. A CGM (continuous glucose monitoring device) can also be very useful, though frequent finger prick testing is also ok.
Avatar n tn Below is the FDA information released by Astra Zeneca regarding this very issue Patients with risk factors for diabetes mellitus (eg, obesity, family history of diabetes) who are starting treatment with atypical antipsychotics should undergo fasting blood glucose testing at the beginning of treatment. Any patient treated with atypical antipsychotics should be monitored for symptoms of hyperglycemia including polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia, and weakness.
Avatar m tn Patient with diabetes mellitus, hypertension and dyslipidemia is having long asymptomatic pauses in Holter monitoring. Answer: I hope your hypertension, diabetes and cholesterol are well regulated. That's the most important factors to maintain good cardiac health. We are not doctors and can't advice further plan of action. Regarding the pauses; your cardiologist must evaluate how long they are, when they occur, and what the most likely explaination for them is.
15114787 tn?1438541373 type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and T2DM. T2DM is a common endocrine disorder that encompasses multifactorial mechanisms, and T1DM is an immunologically mediated disease. Many epidemiological studies have shown an association between T2DM and chronic hepatitis C (CHC) infection. The processes through which CHC is associated with T2DM seem to involve direct viral effects, insulin resistance, proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and other immune-mediated mechanisms.
Avatar n tn I am one of the Forum Team who happens to be a female type 1 diabetic since childhood, so I speak from experience. While you don't want her to be ashamed of having this disease, she will feel "different" from her classmates and will probably go through a phase at some point where she wishes to keep her treatment as discreet as possible in order to keep her friends from focusing on her disease rather than on her as a person.
Avatar f tn Chronic infection with HCV is associated with insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes [61]. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes has been reported to be 14–50% in patients with chronic HCV infection [62]. HCV-associated diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance and does not appear to be associated with antibodies directed towards the beta cells in the islets of Langerhans [63].
Avatar m tn Rather than watch your blood sugar tests, watch the weight scale and eat healthy, clean. Metformin is given to type 2 diabetes that do not control blood sugar with exercise. Eat less, exercise more to burn up the layers of fat in your muscles and belly fat. High blood sugars tend to go up after exercise due to muscles and liver releasing stored glycogen. Increasing metformin is not the solution, rather exercise more and eat less.
Avatar m tn Close clinical monitoring of glycemic control is recommended if these drugs are coadministered with antidiabetic agents. Likewise, patients should be observed for hypoglycemia when these drugs are withdrawn from their therapeutic regimen. Dose adjustments of the hypoglycemic agent may be required. Best wishes ... and see your doc ... k?
Avatar f tn I'm confused. You feel like her being type 1 is a hindrance to continuing the relationship because it is too much of a burden? I mean, that's your choice and the reason why we date is to judge if we want to continue on to the next stage in a relationship. Not everyone is a match nor do we have to stay with them. We're allowed to break up with those we have reservations about. But Type 1 diabetes when controlled does not have to hinder one's life.
Avatar n tn //my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/7104-diabetes-mellitus-an-overview/diagnosis-and-tests https://www.diabetes.org/a1c/diagnosis Perhaps your A1C levels were at pre-diabetic levels, but your blood glucose levels were higher. It sounds like you've been doing really well, though, but you should talk to your doctor, though, because since it's already been high, you need to keep on top of it.
Avatar f tn ll be getting more monitoring due to your diabetes, like more ultrasounds and doctor visits and non-stress tests, but my daughter was born at 39 weeks and was 6lbs, 7oz. (they kept insisting she'd be huge since diabetics tend to have larger babies) It is possible, you're working on lowering it now, so of course, keep that up. :) Remember it can take a few weeks for a1c levels to go down.
Avatar m tn i was'nt monitoring my diabetes,I guess it was high,now I am following it and it's normal levels,you think over the time my feet will get back to normal?
Avatar f tn I went in for a regular checkup, because I have frequent urination and thirst. The doctor checked my sugar levels through urine and then she told the medical assistant to do it with blood. While I was in the room with the medical assistant, she told me the doctor want her to check my blood because I have high glucose levels in my urine. She said I could be pre- diabetic and etc. So when the doctor came in she said your blood is good.
